[edit] Awful Joke
Awful example of a Latvian joke Koala77 14:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Got any better? // Liftarn
- As if Latvians had humor ;) Acctualy I also think it isn't good and I've never heard this joke elsewhere---- Xil/talk 11:16, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- I found it in a book with east european humour. Most of it was generic or Russian, but it also included this obviously Latvian joke. // Liftarn
- It obviously pokes fun at Latvians - a thing that Latvian jokes almost never do (there are nationality jokes where person of nation a does one thing, b thoes another thing and c does something stupid, and even in those usually have Latvian as a or b not c), I'm not saying that there are no Latvian jokes about Latvian people, but they are extremely rare, you can't give it as example of typical Latvian joke. ---- Xil/talk 16:26, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

This is smth awful. Absolutely non-informative page with a stupid nationality-based 'joke'. I mean seriously. Maybe we will include a joke about Estonian here as well? at the seashore: — hey, look, there's a dead sea-gull — *looking up* wheeree?
Joke has been deleted. Needs new example --Cliff (talk) 03:07, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- I readded the joke (the article needs an example) until a substitute can be found. // Liftarn (talk)
- Substitute was found, please stop readding the joke ~~Xil...sist! 16:41, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- Why, more examples is always better. The jokes aren't even simmilar so the coverage gets better with both included. // Liftarn (talk)
- As I explained before it is very unusual joke, if I hadn't dug up something similar (out of very few google results, there was simmilar joke about police) I wouldn't believe that it has anything to do with Latvian humor - examples should show something usual, don't you think ? So far this joke has been removed by three persons - Me, Cliff and some IP, Koala77 here also says that the joke is awful and Coverback added POV tag for some reason, isn't that enough to assume that most people don't want that joke here ? Saying that more example is better is no reason to keep bad example in my oppinion ~~Xil...sist! 11:11, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article Needs Expanding
Couldn't find anything better than Neutrality, but hey, article as it is now should be deleted, actually. Coverback 12:18, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article Needs English Translation
Quote: ' "... we left you with only 25% of your brain," to which patient responds - Gerai, gerai!' – Can someone translate "Gerai, gerai!"? The linked article doesn't translate it either. – While we are at it, why is this "Latvian humour" article (it's rather short) not integrated in the Latvia article? (The "culture" section over there needs some extension anyway, I think.) Cheerio --Suaheli (talk) 01:40, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
